Prior learning is the knowledge, competencies, and skills acquired through formal and informal education outside a traditional academic environment. For example, if a student participates in an employee training program, military service, or takes certain standardized exams, they may earn college-level credit.  \nAY2023 saw an increase of 2,979 students and 4,959 awarded credits from the previous academic year. The majority of credit for prior learning that students received in AY2023 came from assessment through national standardized exams such as AP, CLEP, IB, etc. In addition to these traditional national exams, USHE also awarded 52,016 credits to 4,334 students (about 13% of the total) for prior learning completed through military service, third-party and national certifications, foreign language exams, portfolio submissions, institutional challenge exams, and work done through technical colleges.1  \nCredit earned through national standardized exams  \n• Advanced Placement: More students enrolled in AP courses in AY2023 than in the 2021-22 academic year, and all degree-granting higher education institutions in the state saw an increase in matriculating students who took AP exams. The number of AP credits earned in AY2023 declined by three percent compared to AY2022. However, Utah Tech University and Utah Valley University awarded more AP exam credits in AY2023 than inAY2022.2  \n• International Baccalaureate: Fewer Utah students participate in the International Baccalaureate Programme than AP participants. In AY2023, 254 students enrolled in IB courses compared to 14,864 students who took AP courses. However, there was a 27% increase in students taking IB courses in AY2023 compared to AY2022, and credits awarded to students increased by 18% for IB exams.  \n• The College Level Examination Program: CLEP tests are geared toward adult learners; therefore, a smaller number of students take these exams. During AY2023, 74 fewer students took  \n1 Utah high school students also enter USHE institutions with previously earned college credits through the Concurrent Enrollment program. In AY2023, the Concurrent Enrollment program helped 53,242 students earn 408,086 credits.1 Concurrent Enrollment (CE) students take actual college courses while in high school, so CE is not considered a form of credit for extra-collegial prior learning.]  \n2 The College Board, AP Score Distributions, 2023 and 2022 data. November 30, 2023.  \n[https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/about-ap-scores/score-distributions](https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/about-ap-scores/score-distributions)  \nat least one CLEP exam compared to AY2022, but those students earned 240 more credits than students in AY2022.  \n• ACT or SAT: Students may earn college credit or waive pre-requisite requirements in subjects like mathematics, science, and English depending on their ACT or SAT exam scores. While the nation has seen an increase in ACT test takers, Utah has had a reduction in the number of students taking the ACT. InAY2023, 5,440 fewer Utah students took the ACT exam compared to the previous academic year, and students earned 8,569 fewer ACT credits in AY2023 than in AY2022. ACT scores across the country have also been dropping. The decline in ACT participation in Utah is partly attributed to shifts during the 2019 pandemic but also because ACT scores are no longer required for entrance into Utah’s public higher education institutions (although they are still used for scholarships and course placement) .  \n• Foreign language exams: Many Utah students earn between nine and 18 foreign language credits for having learned a foreign language.
